As part of my birthday present, I am taking a knife class this evening. Yes, I know. The idea is to help me avoid another thumb incident and help me get back into the groove of using knives again. I've convinced Jack Bauer to go with me. That way he can spend the rest of our lives correcting my incorrect knife usage.

So where does a butterfly take a knife class? At our local Viking store. Several years ago we took a tamale class there and loved it. Hopefully this 3-hour class on knife basics will be just as good, well, minus the cocktails, the wonderful smells of tamale filling cooking, and the savory and sweet tastes of the tamales themselves. Other than that, I am sure it will be exactly the same. :D
